Ways to Prepare for Labor and Delivery

ways to prepare for labor

[Tweet “Read some IMPORTANT tips for preparing for labor, delivery AND post-partum! #Motherhood #pregnancy “]

 

Since this is my fourth go around with labor and delivery I feel like I have a little bit to share with you and some great reminders for myself! I promise to share some labor and delivery stories as soon as I can find all the pictures I want to use.

Education– DO NOT take anyone else’s word for it! Read up on what the natural progression of labor and delivery should be like. I highly recommend ANY of the Dr. Sear’s books (i.e The Pregnancy Book and The Birth Book). They are very helpful and encouraging without being dramatic and alarmist like the “Expecting” book. I started to read that one and immediately took it straight back to the library. So much contradictory advice and scare tactic writing it was ridiculous!

Emergency Preparedness: Being Pregnant or With a Newborn

Emergency Preparedness:

Being Pregnant or With a Newborn

How on earth does a pregnant woman or mom of a newborn prepare for an emergency? Do you have an emergency kit of any kind? This could be a reality for my family and for many young families that we know. I know we take for granted being less than a 5 minute drive from over a dozen stores that sell food, diapers, wipes,etc. BUT what happens if you cannot get to the store? What if the power is wiped out due to high winds or ice? Shelves may sit full of useful products but without the power to run a register or the internet for the computers you are SUNK!

Pears from Heaven: Our Homemade Baby Food Story

Pears from Heaven:

Our Homemade Baby Food Story

pears from heaven Our homemade baby food story

I was pregnant, almost 10 years ago, with Eldest when I was heading to my mom’s house. I drove past a local city park and noticed a large pear tree dropping fruit EVERYWHERE! No was picking the fruit up or even seemed to notice it being there. Bees and flies were the only ones that seemed to notice. I COULD NOT let all those pears go to waste!

The frugalista in me decided to turn around and go back home for containers to pack up the pears. I grabbed a backpack on wheels, plastic grocery sacks, and any other heavy-duty sack that would hold all the pears that I could fit into them.

I trotted down the hill with sacks in tow. I loaded all the bags till they were full and then I lugged them back up the hill to my van. Off I set to my mom’s house to cook and can all the FREE baby food pears from heaven I had just acquired!

We had lots and lots of pints of pureed pears for our new baby! We also canned 30 pounds of squash we had gotten with farmer’s market food vouchers. Needless to say Eldest and Princess ate very well. We had extra for pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie.

I would also stock up on produce when on sale and steam it, puree it, and freeze in ice-cube trays for when it was needed. Yes, I did buy baby food, but most of it was almost free with coupons! (This was awhile ago before everyone started to make a fuss about all the additives in baby food,etc.)

I have never seen that tree produce even one pear since that year and seems that the pears from heaven tree happened just at the right time for us!

My Birthing Center Experience

By 2 Comments

My Birthing Center Experience - Alldonemonkey.comLove the idea of a home birth but not sure you’re that brave? Want the security of a hospital without the pressure? Try delivering in a birth center!
When you are expecting your first child, there are so many decisions to make about the kind of birth experience you want: Who do you want with you? Do you need a birth coach? Do you want an epidural? Would you consider a water birth? And the list of questions lengthens with each pregnancy book or website you obsessively read.
